Bush apologist Ann Coulter describes the band as "anarchists" and their fans as "losers" and Sean Hannity suggested that the secret service should investigate the band. If they think that's bad, someone should let them know about this guy.

during their performance lead singer de la Rocha compared Bush administration officials to Nazi war criminals. He went on to say the current team should also be "tried and hung and shot",

Christ I hate Ann Coulter. One of the few people I could actually watch someone else beat the fuck out of and laugh histarically. I hope I don't get investigated by saying such things.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
I hate the woman, and I don't even think she's that attractive, but I'd sitll like to fuck Ann Coulter.
fucked (May 4, 2007)
Okay, off topic time. Last night I saw Social Distortion and I must confess; it was a hell of a fucking time. Although the merch stand gave out fucking shopping bags, it was the best concert I've seen in a while. Somebody on this damn site has to agree with me, not because I'm right, but because there is at least one follower amongst us.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
im sure the conversation went a little more like this:
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Tom Morello is an "anarchist" and "not a liberal or Democrat?" I saw the man perform at a pro John Kerry rally in 2004...
R3venge_Therapy (May 4, 2007)
So, after watching only half of that I had to turn it off. I'm not a Rage fan, but saying that "no one even knows who they are"...c'mon. Yes, and so many people care about what you have to say, Ann. You fucking cunt.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
How can you call this a "Dixie Chicks moment?" The Dixie Chicks lost about all their fans based on what they said, and they were run off country radio. Rage Against the Machnie's fans are just going to pound down a beer and pump their fist to any of Zach's anti-Bush rants.
VStoriesFallen (May 4, 2007)
Good job pretending to not know who RATM is, and then saying that people care about what you say.
lostandclowned (May 4, 2007)
didnt rage back an organization that kidnapped a senator's kid? yeaaaa that's the way to fight the system.

God I hate Ann Coulter. What a bitch. I hate this bullshit persecution complex that conservatives have. They have the power, suck it up.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
I don't know how I feel about Ann Coulter. I disagree with pretty much everything she says, but I would love to bend her over a table and bang her brains out with my oversized liberal dong.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
i dont want to fight ann coulter. i dont want to trash talk the people in this interview. but, i do want to discuss the matter of conversation involving thoughts that RATM were threatening the life of the president. here is a country at war over oil and money, dropping bombs on cities, blowing up entire city blocks...WITH PEOPLE STILL RESIDING IN THEM!! here is an army that is guided by a man, and moreover his administration (who honestly have much more control than we know), who are trying to govern a country that is not theirs. it is enraging that people are so short-sighted about the concept of life and death, good and bad. if rage thought that the reason to fight was legit, they would fight. ann coulter, george bush, and the rest of the people involved with this argument would not, if this war was fair or not, be caught dead in f show rest of comment
TheOneTrueBill (May 4, 2007)
Why even bother posting this and giving these wackos any more coverage than they already get?
David_Arquette (May 4, 2007)
Scrubs was the most depressing shit ever tonight.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
what is this ted nugent on cnn shit? he's writing editorials for cnn.com too. since when did he become anything more than a gun-obsessed, wash-up 70s rocker? he's suddenly the voice of america? christ.
Badger_Legion (May 4, 2007)
"They should be hung, and tried, and shot"
Someone (May 4, 2007)
fox news forgot to include the part of de la rocha's speech where he said all presidents since truman(including democrats) should be shot, hung, and executed. they also transcribed what he was saying wrong too, but whatever, they have to feed their fanbase.
jay_klinkhammer (May 4, 2007)
I like now the Nuge has "technical difficulties" once he starts to make a moderate comment.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
I love how they have Ted Nugent and Ann Coulter talking about this, it's just so funny.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
these pundits keep referring to a call for assassination from RATM.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
"violence always comes from the liberals"
wildo (May 4, 2007)
I've spent the last five minutes trying to figure out a way to articulate my utter disbelief and rage. WTF is the best I could do.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
She's a right wing wacko, she's so out of touch that she has no idea who RATM is. Give me a fucking break...
Cheesetits (May 4, 2007)
It must be so convenient to be able to censor opposing views by drowning out their speech with redudant babbling and the shameful use of the volume button.
SteveJonesTheRealBones (May 4, 2007)
so i dont get it i guess....punknews.org are rage against the machine apologists?
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Good thing what Zach De La Rocha said was taken out of context, he was saying he should be tried for war crimes and should be hung and shot as a penalty for said crimes. As for calling their fans losers, Well that is very nice of her to call millions of people losers like that. I have a right wing group that is violent, they are called nazis and the KKK. She has no clue. Ann " she is white and blond and doesnt realize that she gets every benefit in the entire world"Coulter needs to shut the fuck up. It is so easy for a white blond to be a republican, the whole world is handed to them on a silver platter.
listofdemands (May 4, 2007)
i would like to publicly challenge sean hannity to a fist fight. he can even have ann coulter with him. fuck it, i've fought two guys at the same time in the past. nic.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Brad Wilk (drummer) has made it pretty clear he's mostly apolitical. And I highly doubt Zack is an anarchist - he lived in a gated community in LA, maybe he still does I don't know.
Chewy_Almighty (May 4, 2007)
What's an Ann Coulter?
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Stupid twat. The guy who wrote the article about Chelsea Clinton was on the staff of the Daily Californian at Cal.
canaandrumz (May 4, 2007)
Tried, Hung, and shot? That doesn't seem to progressive and humanitarian does it? And technically it should be hanged, not hung.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
oh mr. aubin, that "this guy" link is pure genius my friend. Fuck the conservative fucks and all their god damn bullshit. Douche Bags. Obama 08.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
fuck sean hannity. he'ss going to get [verbally] beat down friday night in a debate with my homie, salt lake city mayor rocky anderson. it's going to be awesome.
TEAiM (May 4, 2007)
im glad i dont live in america to have to listen to this crap on the tv...
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Same shit, different day. Fox News pushes a conservative agenda? OH NOESSS!!! Fuck them all.
ibitchslappedyourmama (May 4, 2007)
Ann Coulter is actually a former drag queen from Key West named Pudenda Shenanigans. … As Pudenda Shenanigans, she was well known on the drag circuit in Key West. Whether she actually had a full sex change or not is a matter of debate, although her adam’s apple is still visible in photos, under the appropriate light. … The person known today as Ann Coulter was born Jeremy Levinsohn in the village in New York in 1960. … Jeremy drifted for awhile before finding himself in Key West. Co-worker Licky Dickenstein described these early years, “Jeremy was a natural, I never saw anyone take to drag so quickly. Once he found his persona, he WAS Pudenda Shenanigans. For most of us drag was a part time thing, but Pudenda was 24-7, always in character, always in costume. She really shook things up, she was a goddess on stage.” … After that Ms. Shenanigans disappeared show rest of comment
Dadudebob (May 4, 2007)
fuck ted nugent
Someone (May 4, 2007)
This is as ridiculous as that Shane Doan thing and I'm French Canadian. Big deal they said some stuff at a concert. Next subject please.
wearestillalive (May 4, 2007)
that was the shittiest interview i have ever seen for so many reasons.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
the band is called 'RAGE against the machine' not 'whine politely against the machine' what the fuck do these cunts expect
superskabro (May 4, 2007)
I awlays hear how totally shitty and bogus Fox News is, so when I do watch it, it's with low expectations, but I am ALWAYS blown away by how cosmically shitty it is. Even though Jane Fleming was lame, did you notice how poorly they treated her? Very unprofessional on the part of Fox News. Ann Coulter seriously sucks bigtime. I can't believe people watch that shit. What a stupid country we live in. The cast and crew of Fox New Corp. should be arrested, tried and shot.
WarIsPeace (May 4, 2007)
"We watch Fox News, so you don't have to"
Someone (May 4, 2007)
First let me state this: I am in agreement with Rage that the current administration should be tried for it's war crimes.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
sean hannity is a fuck. if i knew i could get away w/ it ....id fucking shoot him in the face.
AmericaRules (May 4, 2007)
You guys just proved Coulter's point about violent and threatening left-wingers with your retarded comments (the enlightened left!). Good job liberals.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Im from South Africa, I've heard of Rage Against the Machine but never Ann Coulter.. hmm says something doesn't it.. Fucking stupid woman hope she gets hit by a bus.. wait make that a terrorist bus just to spice it all up.. Haha KUNT!!
GutterRock (May 4, 2007)
Did they ever stop to think about WHY people want to kill them? There's only so much shit you can get away with before somebody gets pissed enough to off you.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Wow how fucking edgy!!!, it's taken Rage Against The Machine for comments that everybody and their grans been saying since the dawn of his election to make an impact.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
that was absolutely ridiculous. they took everything he said out of context. i am so frustrated by this that i cannot think straight. those people on fox are liars and fools and manipulators of the truth. disgusting.
onetwoeleven (May 4, 2007)
that bitch is fucking stupid, no ignorant and shallow, "they aren't very attractive" what the fuck? hope her and her nasty family falls on a banana peel and dies
Someone (May 4, 2007)
wow fuck what these peopel are saying, if anyone pays any attention to these dumbasses than you yourself are a dumbass... HE SAID AND I QUOTE, " SHOULD BE..." HE NEVER THREATENED ANYONE..... GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT YOU DUMB NEWS-MORONS!
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Way to spin wishing for a trial and execution into an assassination attempt. I hope she gets a yeast infection, and her cunt falls off.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Everyone's worng, liberal, consertvative,...whatever. FUCK I hate politics! I go to concerts as an outlet from this fucked up world, not to attend a political rally.
AndrewG (May 4, 2007)
Fox News Exec #1: Quick we need someone in the music community to weigh in.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
First of all, they are talkign out of their asses when they say that nobody cares about Rage Against the Machine. To begin with, they were the most important band of the late 90s, and had the balls to criticize every aspect of American politics and society, not to mention their musical influence and range. Secondly, no direct threat was made my Zach De La Rocha; he was advocating a TRIAL, followed by swift punishment. He advocated that the administration pay the penalties that they regularly prescribe for poor non-white people for crimes on a much smaller scale than the crimes of the administration. And, about Rage themselves. Clearly, people care about them: hundreds of thousands turned out for them, and tens of thousands more will. Lastly, RATM fans are the politically progressive side of society: while they dont' always embody the radical views of the band, the band show rest of comment
ashtraymonument (May 4, 2007)
i started watching this and laughed...but then i just got angrier and angrier and i turned it off. god i hate all of them so fucking much
damnitsderek (May 4, 2007)
That might have been one of the greatest episodes of The Office ever.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
only anarchists are pretty, as the prophet Jack Terricloth states, so Ann the horse got pissed off at this being the reason for her terrible looks.

first of all....

"They missed with me because they throw like girls."

"Unlike them, people care what I say"- Ann Coulter on RATM
davebrave4 (May 4, 2007)
Awwww, Ann Coulter's jealous because she didn't get an invitation to go to Anarchy Camp.
Someone (May 4, 2007)
FUCK FOX NEWS! they're a buch of fucking conservative retards. I love how at the end of the video they just cut out that other fucking girl, and they just keep agreeing with ann. FOx news is fucking bulls shit!
Someone (May 4, 2007)
We fear that which we don't understand. Could Ann Coulter be any further from reality? What threat are you talking about? The band members are most certainly NOT planning on assassinating the President. I was at Coachella, and the crowd was excited to see a group of performers get back on stage after a long hiatus. Were there any riots in Indio or the Coachella Valley that night b/c of this rant? NO. I've never agreed with Zach's politics, but I am a fan of the music. Give some of the "loser fans" out there some credit to be able to distinguish between good music and an extremist political rant. If you don't even know anything about the band you are labeling as "losers", you probably should do some homework first (not just email a buddy at MTV). This group has always been extremist in their views and all of their music is about the topics that de show rest of comment
Someone (May 4, 2007)
Rage Against the Machine fucking blows..."tried and hung and shot?" WOW, give me a fucking break with the tough talk already. If Bush was killed then who would all the bored assholes complain about all day?
Someone (May 5, 2007)
Wow, They used to be popular? They still seem to have a pretty good fanbase for a band that they think is on the level of Flock of Seagulls. FoxNews fucking sucks
Someone (May 5, 2007)
ithink its funny about how ted nugents talking about how appaling the threat to life is but the fuckers kills like a ton of fucking animals
Someone (May 5, 2007)
Does any one really believe ann coulter has "friends" over at MTV? wtf ...crazy horse whore
corporatecriminal (May 5, 2007)
This is a perfect example of the attitude of Ann Coulter (and other pundits like her). So desperate for media attention, she says, "Sure, I'll go on TV and talk about some band I've never heard of." Also, she loves to spew her opinion as if it's truth. "I've never heard of them, so America doesn't care about them."
Someone (May 5, 2007)
way to only show 5 seconds of a minute long speech fox news...good job showing context.......
Someone (May 7, 2007)
I hate to be that fucking kid that points out the obvious,
Someone (May 10, 2007)
Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter are fuc**ng losers, it about time that somebody said what should be done. The bush administration just carried on his "Daddys" work, and instead of sorting out the Afgan problem, they used that as an excuse to invade Iraq to take their natural resources. Its all about money, and American soldiers are slaughtering thousand of innocent Iraqi women and children. What difference is Nazi germany or even Saddams dictatorship.
wolfboy (June 5, 2007)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ann Coulter thinks people care about what she thinks?!?! |
